Try selling it to them twice. Three times and for ever. That's like saying an affiliate will keep promoting a site that doesn't sell, just buy him drinks at a party. Damian might have a point actually, when dealing with fools. 
You missed the part about respecting customers Damina. |
Absolutely true. I hate McDonald's TV adverts, but the reality is people continue to go back because for a fast food chain the quality is good and the price is right. In this case McDonald's ads mean next to nothing now, they simply are THE icon of the fast food industry for better or worse.
on edit- while i detest Mcdonalds ads, i am sure they are successful and appeal to a broad range of idiots.
And how big was the "dollar menu" which they started in 2000?
Almost all fast food chains adopted the same idea very quickly.
But what's this? Five Guys, In and Out etc are all better burgers which have also risen and taken a bite out of Mcdonalds profit line.
Why? Because they are better. So if you want to tie an analogy to Mcdonalds and porn you could say that no matter what Manwin gobbles up there will always be the top notch independent site which has better quality in a particular niche and people will continue to buy.
That is, until Manwin buys it
